Investing in the lives of the impoverished and needy children of Rwanda and to facilitate a spiritual and holistic transformation of their lives and families.
May 2020 Update
Dear Friends, partners, and co-workers in Christ Jesus,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Grace to you and peace from our father and the Lord Jesus Christ, “Philippians 1:2”.
On behalf of the entire team of Christ Gospel Fellowship Church of Rwanda and in particular the staff of ABC Kids Program, we are so thankful to the Lord for His Love and endless Mercy to us. Glory be to His Holy Name; now and forever.
As it has been always, we have so many reasons to be thankful to God in our everyday life as the Word of God says, “Rejoice in the Lord always, I say it again; Rejoice.” Philippians 4:4. This is not because all situations are well with people always, but because we have a greater God who is always above all the situations and have full control over every step in life.
We want to take this opportunity to testify the greatness of our Lord especially through this hard time when everyone worldwide is challenged with the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. It has been a very challenging time especially from mid- March through April when it was total lockdown for everybody country wide, except very essential service providers like food stores & market places, pharmacies and clinics and some others with justified permissions.
We thank God so much for all the immediate preventive measures put in place by the government such as closing public gathering places, keeping social distance, washing hands and many others. This has been so helpful because as for now some people can go to their work places for those who can’t work from home but still considering the preventive measures.
Back to ministry, we thank God for He has been by our side all through and He will always be there to keep His promise as His Word says; “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord…..” Jeremiah 29:11.
The COVID- 19 Pandemic broke out when the schools were about to start the end of 1st term exams and children were immediately sent home. We could not obviously reach them at their homes but always make sure we communicate and get to hear from most of them.
We recently distributed food items to the families at least to take them through some days. This touched the parents/guardians so much beyond our imagination.

Below are some pictures of how the food distribution event was carried out.

As it has always been done, we also provide medial support where necessary.
This is Deborah Uwizeye, one of our children who had a serious sight problem and the doctor recommended that she gets eye glasses. At least now she can see and we hope she will get better soon. We have about five with the same case and are also being followed up, some of them will get eye glasses and others treated accordingly.

The school progress: We had six kids who did the S.6 National exams for year 2019. Five of them passed with good marks and God willing they will be joining the University.The schools will re-open in September as announced by the Ministry of Education. As of now, the secondly and Primary schools, programs have been set up on Radios and Televisions that help children to follow their lessons during this long period of waiting for schools to open.
Thanksgiving to God: We thank God so much for His great hand of protection during this challenging time. Even when we could not reach out to families but means of communications has been used and helped to keep in touch. The churches like other public gathering places are closed to now but we thank God for the real churches which are the hearts of the saints have built even greater fellowship with the Lord through family fellowships. Online teachings also are helping many. Thank God at least a big number of believers can have access to various media channels that can help keep the unity of the body of Christ. Prayer requests:
God bless you always, Uwamariya Jacqueline ABC Kids Program Coordinator |
